Self-help for Diabetes: The first health guide to participate in under competent therapeutic guidance from the specialists at the Clinic for Naturopathy and Integrative Medicine in Essen. Diabetes consultant Mario Althaus and nutritionist Sabine Pork have been active in the field of diabetes and naturopathy for years. Together, they have compiled their experiences in this interactive patient coaching program. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that leads to elevated blood sugar levels. In the long term, this can result in complications. However, a healthy lifestyle can largely counteract these complications, thus preserving quality of life and independence. The naturopathic options are not necessarily a substitute for diabetes medications or insulin but are also intended to be helpful.
